How do I setup a dedicated suspend-to-disk partition on Fedora 10


This is my first laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad T61) and, being unused to the various features available, made the swap partition too small to suspend-to-disk (it is smaller than my installed RAM). With Fedora 10 coming out I have a good excuse to wipe all my non-/home partitions and start over in a sane way.

My dilemma is thus: I work with a lot of large files at once and thus actually use my swap partition for it's stated purpose. I have learned, however, that having too much swap space, especially when using encrypted disks, is a big liability when something goes wrong and eats all available memory (with a large amount of swap it goes on for a long, long time before killing the runaway program, during which I am unable to actually access my system). Thus, making the swap big enough for both my heavy memory usage and suspend-to-disk is an unacceptable risk. I would rather just not have suspend-to-disk.

Is there a way to setup a partition (or file if a partition is not feasible) solely for the use of suspend-to-disk? I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, but would really rather not use a different suspend-to-disk solution than the default one for Fedora 10.

You might want to report it to Fedora Bugzilla and wait a little while and get a newer version since it is still being completed and debugged.
